I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to meet my requirements, at a reasonable price which is making it all the more appealing. I have since been informed that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns purchasing a house with a leasehold title in West Hendon. Conveyancing lawyers have are about to be instructed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in West Hendon ?

Most houses in West Hendon are freehold and not leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are purchasing in West Hendon so you should seriously consider looking for a West Hendon conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a contribution towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the house is located on an estate. Your conveyancer should appraise you on the various issues.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a West Hendon conveyancing firm to assist?

Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a West Hendon conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a West Hendon premises is First Floor Flat 61 Wilberforce Road in March 2014. The premium payable was £10,130 and the case was remitted back to the Willesden County Court to effect the Vesting Order (Claim No 3W103100). This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 71 years.

Developers have recommended to me a solicitor and I've sought an estimate from them. They are nearly £400 cheaper than my preferred West Hendon conveyancer. Should I use them?

Housebuilders normally have lists of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the builder's paperwork and solicitor. As many developers offer an incentive to use a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they require an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested lawyer is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests at the risk of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your high street West Hendon property lawyer.
